Double up Races

Larry,
What would be your proposed schedule for a double divisional with over 600 cars in competition? It took approximately 5-hours to run one session last weekend.

If everyone gets two (2) guaranteed time runs, then looks like we’ll need 6 days to run a double divisional.

Overall, I think the powers that be did a good job in St. Louis given all of the circumstances. The race was completed late Sunday, I’m sure many people opted to remain overnight and leave Monday as a result. Additionally, one could probably question did we run a little too late a couple of nights.

For race 2, I was hoping there would be no time trials for the super classes and that stock / ss would be random pair round 1 in order to complete the race timely and in optimal conditions.

This is kind of what I was expecting as well. And for those that didn't qualify because they spun on the qualifying run,they would have spun in the first round and lost anyways.

I would have been fine with that, but if that happened, I can only imagine the complaints about the little working man getting screwed again who could only attend the second "weekend" event.

To clarify, I do think “new entries” (people who had not been down the track) should have gotten one (1) run. I bet there were very few that this would apply to.

The working man is really getting screwed if we need 6 days to run a double.
